We went from saving $650 to making $650, that's $1300 difference we're talking about here guys!!!

I got a kick out of that. Don't sweat the brake job bill, you'll be more prepared for the next repair I'm guessing. BTW....I just did a complete brake job F & R and fluid flush, if you buy all the parts and sensors required your parts costs are going to ad up to a helluvalot more than what some of the above figures suggest.


Hold on to your pants bud. I just, back in late October, replaced all 4 rotors, new pads, and full brake line flush for less than $300. I have a S which calls for cross-drilled rotors. Nor, I did buy the mounting kits, new dampening panels, most techs never replace them and only if they are really bad. Also, the wear indicators where fine since I did the brake job before they engaged.
